The pathetic excuse tumblr used to justify the excruciatingly long period of time the site was down on 6-7/12/2010.

Commonly recognised in the phrase: "We're working quickly to recover from an issue in one of our database clusters. We're incredibly sorry for the inconvenience."

1: "How's you day been?"
2: "Refreshing"
1: "Why refreshing? Did you go for a swim? Have a shower? Sit under a waterfall?"
2: "No, I sat inside refreshing TUMBLR ALL DAY BECAUSE OF THE FCUKING DATABASE CLUSTERS"

Surf Dracula Syndrome

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
